Share

When you have completed your plan, please print several
copies and place them in key locations around the workplace, at the
alternate work site, and ask the emergency planning team to keep a copy at
home.

Practice

You will need to train and practice with your staff on
how to complete assigned responsibilities. Make sure to use the training &
review section below. Once your staff is trained, you should conduct an
exercise to test your staff’s ability to respond to the emergency.
